How Does Laser Skin Resurfacing Work?

Laser Skin Resurfacing uses a hand-held device that provides short blasts of high-energy laser light that vaporizes damaged skin tissue one layer at a time, aiming to reveal the fresher, newer layer of skin lying underneath. Patients feel assured by the FDA’s approval and the reported low risk of scarring and complications.*

Laser Acne Treatments

Laser skin resurfacing is often incorporated in professional acne treatments. Fractionated lasers can improve acne in many ways. The laser can destroy the bacteria that is correlated with acne. It can also stimulate cellular renewal, triggering the skin to slough off its dead skin cells which are notorious for clogging pores. Gentle laser treatments, such as Clear + Brilliant can also minimize pores. Studies show that a stronger laser, such as Fraxel is helpful in diminishing the appearance of scars, and is commonly used in treating people with acne scars.

Laser Resurfacing with Clear + Brilliant

Clear and Brilliant delivers a gentle laser that penetrates the top most layers of skin, stimulating cellular turnover and collagen production. Collagen strengthens the skin, keeping it tight and free of wrinkles and fine lines. And cellular turnover triggers the body to replace dead skin cells, which clog pores and dull complexions, with a fresh layer of skin that is younger and more radiant looking. Because Clear + Brilliant is a less aggressive laser than Fraxel, it is ideal for preventative skin care, treating fine lines and small wrinkles, melasma and minor skin blemishes caused by sun damage. Clear + Brilliant is also an excellent tool for combating acne, and is commonly used by professionals to shrink pores. See Laser Skin Resurfacing Before and After using Clear + Brilliant >>

Laser Resurfacing with Fraxel

Fraxel laser resurfacing uses a more aggressive laser than Clear + Brilliant. It penetrates deeper into the skin, making it more effective for diminishing brown spots, creating even skin tone, and minimizing wrinkles and fine lines. Fraxel is also very effective at reducing the appearance of acne scars and other types of scars such as stretch marks.

Am I a good candidate for Fractional Laser treatment?

If your skin reveals signs of aging, then yes, you may be a good candidate for for laser skin resurfacing.

The two types of fractional lasers for skin resurfacing that are commonly used are carbon dioxide (CO2) and erbium.

CO2 laser is considered an effective procedure for treatment of wrinkles, removing fine lines, decrease the appearance of deep wrinkles, acne scars, and smooth the skin.¹ Typically, treatment sessions last 15 to 90 minutes. With laser skin resurfacing healing time may take up to one to four months and will require sun protection with a high SPF sunscreen for up to six months.*

Erbium is less intense and gentler fractional laser compared to other technologies. Recovery times are generally quicker with erbium laser treatment and patients usually experience less pain and swelling. Healing and final results with erbium laser for skin resurfacing treatment are typically seen within one to four weeks.*²

While no procedure is completely void of risk, when a qualified, experienced professional performs laser resurfacing, complications are rare and are usually minor.
